French Things. Edible French Things.

Patisserie on Newbury, a new outpost of baguette sandwiches, pastries and other thoroughly French
provisions, just opened in Back Bay. So now you can pick up some truffle mousse and brie for
trick-or-treaters tonight. One day, they’ll appreciate brie.

Time for Some Skeletons and Mezcal

Día de los Muertos: that’s Spanish for “Day of the Dead.” Mezcal: that’s Mexican. So it makes sense
to mark the former with flights and cocktails of the latter at Russell House Tavern. The oysters and shrimp
tostadas won’t hurt either. They’re non-hurting foods.

Saturday

Ways this event is like Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory: it’s organized by an actual
chocolate factory. Ways this event is not like Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory: it includes
Latin food trucks, mariachi bands and gratis tequila. A fair trade-off for not having Oompa-Loompas.

SILENCE OF THE LAMBS

feasting on grilled lamb in costume. Okay, so Tavern Road totally made this up. Still, not a bad idea.
